Totally agree Jah. That was easily the worse performance I've witnessed for a loooooong time. Not just a couple of players, but virtually the whole outfield team were inept. Roy Keane was right about Carrick's postmatch interview summing up the team's performance...devoid of any passion.

[Jah Lush]

Yep, and yet I thought Carrick was one of the better performers on the night for Man U. You need a leader in the Roy Keane mould, come to think of it so do Spurs. Something we are seriously lacking at the moment.

[red devil]

Yep, Carrick is a good player, but not a leader. He was actually shrugging his shoulders in that interview, something Keane would never have done. I'm beginning to wonder if this lack of fight is actually rubbing off from Moyes. I've said it before, all his interviews lack conviction, there's never any positivity with him (apparently he was known as Dithering Dave at Everton), instead all he offers is a ''we'll try our best, try and win the next game'' mentality...not good enough. And no, we don't want BFS :)

[Parkdrive]

Always said Moyes wasn't up to it but neither are many of his players. ?520k a week to RVP and Rooney and not a shot on target, and RVP blazing over the bar with the goal at his mercy and then blamimg his team mates during the interview after the game. May he have many years at United. And doubtless come summer, Rooney will be wanting away again.

Are you sure about that, if an English team win the cup will 4th place miss out? I had assumed that they'd made a space for the cup winners?

Oh RD how desperate you rags have become. You suddenly become blind to the number of "wobblys" your own dear shrek has thrown in the past when he didn't get his his way and blackmailed his way back into your affections. I remember many of your so called fans burning his shirt when he threw strops in the past, and when you gave him what he wanted you all forgave him en masse. You rags really do have selective memories, and then you have the temerity to round on those that remind you of your selective memory. While we are at it, Yanited "fans" need to be reminded that supporting a club is for life through thick and thin, and not just during the good times, unlike many of the plastics that reside in London, Surrey, Hampshire anywhere in fact bar Manchester. No club has a divine right to win anything, as you lot are no finding out. Like I said before you've fast become like the child whose wealthy parents have become bankrupt but refuses to give up his pony.

Meanwhile, some good news - Dulwich Hamlet's convincing 4-0 win at Carshalton last night puts them three points clear at the top of the table.

That is good news, always had a soft spot for the Hamlet as my eldest son played for the youth side a few years back.

Indeed

Carrick looking good in a very poor team. Not aure any clubs in the top 5 would swap him for anyone they already have.

Cleverly = Jesus wept.

Young = ditto

Welbeck = lol

Still, Man Utd still have Mr 300k so all is not lost, eh?!

And RVP on 220k so 520k a week for two players who couldn't muster a shot on target last night, bargain.

[red devil]

Oh fook, they're all coming out of the woodwork this morning :)...

Did you see the comments attributed to RvP about his team mates being in the channels he should be occupying? Not like Dutch players to lay the blame for everything at someone else's door.

[Bluerevolution]

United fans knew they were in trouble as soon as they saw the team sheet v Olympicos

[StraferJack]

Rumour mill in overdrive

Announcement any minute now?

[red devil]

I didn't know we'd signed Joe Hart!...

[Bluerevolution]

Moyes is going nowhere, vicious twitter rumour. RD, Ha ha ha thud !!

Always someones elses fault with RVP. Probably the little boy inside him is to blame, don't you think?

Twitter was ahead of the curve over the Dalglish sacking, but can't see that one being true SJ. Up to now he's had the backing of the match going supporters, especially at away games. If this changes then he will be on dodgy ground...

[StraferJack]

good points RD - it was when I saw Coral announcing they had suspended betting I thought something might actually be happening

I hope he stays and I hope Man Utd have a great 10-12 games ahead of them - I need you to take points of others

[red devil]

Yep, I saw that too. There was also something about the NYSE, because that's where the club would have to announce a sacking. Arsenal will one day have a similar problem when Wenger leaves, I hope you're taking notes ;-)

[StraferJack]

"Arsenal will one day have a similar problem when Wenger leaves, I hope you're taking notes "

oh gawd is this ever true. It's why I have been so anti all the anti-Wenger sentiment amongst (not a small) contingent of Arsenal fans

that said, I expect we will get Pep to replace him, so I'm not tooooo worried
